A big reason the trilogy was so interesting to me was because there were so many accurate parallels to the organized crime syndicate that existed during that time.
The 'commission' of the heads of the Five Families, the pecking order/organizational composition of the Family, and the process by which decisions were made...etc., also the remarkable brilliance and foresight/diplomacy that was demonstrated by the leaders of each family.
Organized crime is so firmly entrenched into the history of our nation, it adds more depth to the significance of the film/trilogy. From the conception of Las Vegas to the Bay of Pigs to the assassination of JFK/RFK, organized crime has been at the forefront.
Just look at the cast: Duvall, Pacino, Deniro, Brando, Caan, Keaton...et al. Remarkable film(s).
